Access: Les Deux Alpes is
easy to reach by car. There's a motorway all the way to Grenoble, then an
easy 65 km drive along the RN 91 to the turning for the resort, itself along
an easy road. Driving time from Calais is a little over 9 hours not counting
stops.
The nearest railway station at Grenoble
70km (43 miles) away, has a regular bus link and is on the high-speed TGV
line so can be reached from Paris in 3 hours or Lyon in 1 hour - making
the train-bus combination from these cities probably faster than the airport-airplane-airport-transfer
of the air options.
The airport at Grenoble is the closest, then Lyon, next closest at 160km
(100 miles). There is a direct bus link between Lyon airport and Les 2 Alpes
named "Satobus". Geneva is 240km (150 miles) away.
Les Deux Alpes in summer
45 tennis courts, table tennis tournaments,
cycle races, "Super-Women" (swimming, jogging, aerobics), tennis, aerobics,
cycle-cross and skating rinks. Largest summer skiing area in Europe from
3000 - 3600 m.
Les Deux Alpes in winter

Alps.
